Your Privacy Is Important To Us

Babeland recognizes that you care how information about you is used and shared. We have created this Privacy Policy to inform you of our information collection, use and sharing practices for this website. Please also review our Terms & Conditions which also govern your use of this website.

Please be advised that the practices described in this Privacy Policy apply only to information gathered through this website and, where applicable, through our Customer Service Department in connection with this website, and do not necessarily reflect our practices with respect to information gathered through other websites that we operate or through other off-line means.

If you have any questions or concerns regarding this Privacy Policy, you should contact our a Customer Service Department.

What Information About Me Is Collected and Stored?

We collect and store information that you enter into this website or that you provide to our Customer Service Department. For example, when you open an account or place an order, we collect and store some or all of the following information that you provide: name, billing address, shipping address, email address, telephone number, credit card number and expiration date. This information is used to provide the products and services that you have ordered or requested, to process and ship orders, to send order and shipping confirmations and to provide customer service. This information also may be used for our own marketing and internal business purposes, and to contact you about sales, special offers and new site features, unless you have opted not to receive promotional communications in connection with this website.

We collect and store certain other information automatically whenever you interact with this website. For example, we collect your IP address, browser information and reference site domain name every time you visit this website. We also collect information regarding customer traffic patterns and site usage. This information is used to analyze and improve this website and to provide our customers with a fulfilling shopping experience.

Also, like many websites, we use “cookies”, which are files stored on your computer’s hard drive by your browser. Cookies do not contain personally identifiable information. Cookies help us to identify account holders and to optimize their shopping experience. Cookies also allow us to hold selections in a shopping cart when a user leaves this website without checking out. Cookies are not used on this website to store your account information; this information is stored securely on this website’s server.

When you log in at this website with your username and password, we will assign you a secure session id. The server then passes your information to you through this secure session id. Also, we will use cookies to monitor and maintain information about your use of this website. Cookies are also used to track the identity of the website you visited immediately prior to visiting this website; otherwise, we do not track information about your use of other websites. Most browsers accept cookies automatically but allow you to disable them. We recommend that you leave cookies “turned on” so that we can offer you a better shopping experience on this website. We also may collect and store information about you that we receive from other sources, to enable us to update and correct the information contained in our database and to provide product recommendations and special offers that we think will interest you.

Is Information Collected From Children?

This website is not intended or directed to anyone under the age of 18. We do not sell or ship any items ordered through this website directly to anyone who we know to be under the age of 18, nor do we collect any personal information from anyone who we know to be under the age of 18.

With Whom Do You Share Information?

We do not share with others, or sell or rent to others, any personal information that you provide to us through this website or through our Customer Service Department, except with your consent or as described in this Privacy Policy.

We engage third parties to perform services in connection with the operation of our business. Examples of these services include payment processing and authorization, fraud protection and credit risk reduction, product customization, order fulfillment and shipping, marketing and promotional material distribution, website evaluation, data analysis and, where applicable, data cleansing. We provide personal information to these third parties, but we authorize them to use this information only in connection with the services they perform.

We may release personal information if we believe in good faith that: the law or legal process requires it; we have received a valid administrative request from a law enforcement agency; or such release is necessary to protect the rights, property or safety of Babeland, or any of our respective affiliates, business partners, customers or others.

We may share non-personal information with our marketing partners, advertisers and others from time to time. Examples of such non-personal information include the number of users who visited this website during a specific time period or purchased a specific product through this website. This information generally is shared in an aggregated form.

As with any business, it is possible that as our business develops, we might sell or buy online stores or other assets. In such transactions, information about customers often is among the transferred assets. Accordingly, in the event that Babeland, or substantially all of our respective assets, are acquired by a third party, such information may be one of the transferred assets (unless the information was collected under a previous Privacy Policy that did not permit such disclosure). Under such circumstances, Babeland as the case may be, would to the extent possible require the acquiring party to follow the practices described in this Privacy Policy.

What Steps Are Taken To Keep Personal Information Secure?

We use various security measures, including Secure Socket Layer (SSL) encryption technology, to protect personal information that we collect. If you place an order through this website, you will be invited to set up an account and provide an email address and password. You must provide an appropriate email address and password in order to access account information. In order to help protect your personal information further, you should be careful about providing your password to others. If you wish to cancel a password, or if you become aware of any loss, theft or unauthorized use of a password, please contact our Customer Service Department.

How Can I Access, Correct and Update Personal Information?

You can access, correct and update certain personal information that you have provided to us by clicking on “Update Account” within the “My Account” area of this website.

How will Babeland Charges Appear on My Credit Card?

If you are paying by credit card, the charges on your credit card statement will read “TIB 866.525.1439”.

Is Your Packaging Discreet?

All shipments are discreetly packaged in plain brown boxes, padded envelopes, or FedEx/USPS supplied packaging. Our name appears as “Mailorder” on the return address and our logo does not appear anywhere on the outside of the packaging.

Can I Indicate Whether or Not I Want To Receive Promotional Communications?

During checkout you can “opt out” of receiving promotional email newsletters from us. You will also have an opportunity to change these selections by clicking on an “unsubscribe” hyperlink contained in promotional emails we send you. Additionally, you may contact our Customer Service Department or write to us at:

Please note that any request to be removed from such mailing lists may take up to one (1) week to become effective. Even if you are removed from any such list, if you order online, we will send you an email confirming your order and may need to contact you by phone, email, or regular mail if we have questions about your order.

Babeland does not send unsolicited phone calls, email, or postal mail. Emails are automatically sent to confirm your order, notify you about backorders, and supply you with the tracking number for your shipment. We contact customers by phone only when there is a question about or problem with an order. If you ever receive any contact from us that you do not want, please contact Customer Service Department about the contact so that we can make sure it doesn’t happen again.

Will my name ever appear on your site?

We love to hear from our customers and encourage you to write customer reviews or post blog comments. When we post customer feedback we use first names only to protect your privacy.

What Happens When I Link To or From Another website?

This website may contain links to websites operated by third parties. Please be advised that the practices described in this Privacy Policy do not apply to information gathered through these other websites. We encourage you to be aware of this when you leave this website and to read the privacy policies of each and every website that you visit. If you have accessed this website through a link from certain of our advertising or marketing partners, this website may include a frame of the applicable advertising or marketing partner. Nevertheless, the information you provide to us through these framed web pages is collected by us, and our use of this information is governed by this Privacy Policy.

What About Contests and Sweepstakes?

When we run a contest or sweepstakes relating to this website, it will be accompanied by a set of rules. The rules for each contest/sweepstakes will specify how the information gathered from you for entry will be used and disclosed.

What About Online Surveys?

We may from time to time conduct on-line surveys. When you complete an online survey, we may be asked for certain information including your age, zip code, shopping habits, email and/or mailing address. This information will be treated in accordance with this Privacy Policy.

How Will I Be Informed About Changes Regarding This Privacy Policy?

If we make any material changes to this Privacy Policy, we will post a notice on this website notifying users of the changes. In some cases, we also may send an email notifying users of the changes. You should check this website periodically to see if any recent changes to this Privacy Policy have occurred.
